Eligibility for a British passport

Determining whether you are a British national and whether you qualify for British passport facilities is a complex process involving many factors.

Emergency passports

There are two types of emergency travel documents.

Emergency travel

Please remember that regardless of the type of document issued we need to make checks before we can issue a passport and this may mean you have to delay your travel plans.

Errors in passport

You need to return the passports to the passport office where they were issued with a note of explanation for free re-issue of your passport.

Extending the validity of your passport

Leave plenty of time to apply for a new passport and always regularly check the validity on your passport.

Extension to your passport

It is no longer possible to obtain a free extension to a passport that was subject to a restricted validity.
